Later on, the Golden Globe Awards will be held in Los Angeles, although it’s unclear how many candidates will be present.
After two contentious years, the organisation that organises the ceremony seeks to redeem both the Globes’ reputation and its own.
In 2021, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) was criticised for its lack of diversity and ethical transgressions.
Some celebrities criticised the Globes as a result, while others are cognizant of the awards momentum a victory there may bring.
Following a number of damning charges, the HFPA announced a number of adjustments in an effort to rebuild trust. While the 2022 Globes event was scaled reduced and not broadcast, they are making a comeback this year.
Hollywood suffered significantly as a result of a damning LA Times exposé on the HFPA that revealed there were no black members among the 87 voting members and that only a small percentage of members worked full-time for eminent overseas magazines.
Additionally, according to the newspaper’s research, the group engaged in other unethical practises and frequently took “freebies” from studios and PR firms who were vying for nominations.
The 2022 ceremony ended up taking place behind closed doors with few celebrities in attendance when NBC decided to cancel its coverage due to the exposé.
In the meanwhile, the HFPA announced a number of changes, including a restriction on accepting promotional materials from movie and television companies and an increase in membership diversity.
Now that the Globes are in the dog house in Hollywood, everyone will be watching Tuesday’s ceremony at the Beverly Hilton hotel to see whether they have been released.
Billboards throughout Los Angeles advertise “Hollywood’s largest celebration is back” as the Globes approach in a series of television commercials. But if Hollywood turns there, that won’t be the case.
Billy Porter, Jamie Lee Curtis, Ana de Armas, and filmmaker Quentin Tarantino are the four stars we are certain will attend.
The latter two are also competing for awards: de Armas for best leading drama actress for her depiction of Marilyn Monroe in Blonde and Curtis for best supporting actress for her work in Everything Everywhere All At Once.
The HFPA will be hoping that by naming such well-known individuals in advance, it will inspire more to attend.
However, some people’s absence will be noticeable. Brendan Fraser, who is up for best actor for his performance in The Whale, has declared he won’t be at the event after accused Philip Berk, a former HFPA president, of grabbing him in 2003.
The Golden Globes were one of the most well-liked award shows among spectators until the scandal. The frequently clever selection of presenters was one factor in the ceremony’s strong entertainment value.
In contrast to the more formal Oscars, a caustic host like Ricky Gervais, Seth Myers, or Tina Fey and Amy Poehler would typically poke fun of the A-listers in the crowd and Hollywood in general.
US comedian Jerrod Carmichael will serve as the host this year. Despite not being well-known in the UK, US comedy fans are familiar with Carmichael.
He was nominated for guest hosting in 2022 and won an Emmy for scripting his stand-up special Rothaniel. Saturday Evening Live that same year
